A sketch drawn by Salvador Dalí for his long-time friend Wallis Simpson while
he had lunch with the Duchess of Windsor in New York, in 1958, is to be sold
at auction next week.

The pencil sketch depicting a man on a charging horse, which was hastily drawn
on a correspondence card from the St Regis hotel in New York, measures 135mm
by 85mm (about 5.3in by 3.3in). It is signed “Affectueusement
[fondly] Dalí”.

It is expected to sell for between £1,200 and £1,500, when it goes under the
hammer at the autumn fine art sale at Hansons auction house
